AI 搜索
Search paradigm where LLMs synthesize direct answers instead of ranked link lists.
Aurora is an app that extends AI search into the physical world: users type a request, and multiple voice agents simultaneously call local businesses to ask about stock, prices and availability, returning answers along with call recordings. It replaces web indexing with real-time phone inquiries for local needs such as rentals, appointments and hard-to-find goods.
IP protection firm Podqi tested ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity with 6,795 shopping-related prompts across 151 brands and found all three engines cited and surfaced fake brand-impersonating websites, with Perplexity performing worst at 15% of answers containing risky sites. The study exposes systemic gaps in AI search around brand authenticity and e-commerce referral safety; Perplexity said it never claims 100% accuracy.
Tencent has launched Yuanbao Search, a standalone web search product featuring one-click ad collapsing, priority ranking for authoritative sources, and AI-generated answer summaries, with results drawn from WeChat Official Accounts, Channels, and Tencent News. Product lead Li Ruizhang cited CNNIC data showing 782 million search users in China, arguing search demand persists despite AI assistants.
